Pompeii

A Roman town stopped in 79 AD: streets, bakeries, election graffiti and the casts of people who did not leave.

Pompeii is in Naples, and this is Naples — the atlas draws Europe in one projection whose finest unit is about four kilometres, so it maps the town rather than the street. The frame is about 970 km across and 350 km deep at this latitude. Coastline from Natural Earth, public domain. The full map →

Accessibility

Not documented. EuropeDoor holds no step-free access, hearing loop or accessible toilet information for any place, and inventing it would be worse than the gap — the position in full.

Getting there

Frecciarossa and Italo make Milan–Rome three hours and compete on price. All of Italy →

Those are the three fields that go stale fastest and the three you are most damaged by being wrong about, so this site does not carry them at all rather than carrying an unverified version. Check the operator or the municipality on the day. The estimate of how long to give it, and the season, are editorial judgements and are usually stable.
